A certain industrial process yields a large number of steel cylinder whose lengths are distributed normally with mean 3.25 inche

s and standard deviation 0.05 inches. If two such cylinders are chosen at random and placed end to end what is the probability that their combined length is less than 6.60 inches? (round answer to two decimals)

Answer:

Y = X_1 + X_2

If we find the expected value of Y we got:

E(Y) = E(X_1) + E(X_2) = 3.25 + 3.25 =6.5

And for the variance we assume that we have independent random variables for X1 and X2 so then we have:

Var(Y) = Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) = \sigma^2 + \sigma^2 = 2 \sigma^2 = 2*(0.05^2) = 0.005

And the deviation Sd(Y) = \sqrt{0.005}=0.0707

So then our random variable Y have the following distribution:

Y \sim N (\mu =6,5 , \sigma = 0.0707)

And we want to find this probability:

P(Y

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{y -\mu_y}{\sigma_y}

And if we use the z score formula we got:

P(Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lenghts of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(3.25,0.05)  

Where \mu=3.25 and \sigma=0.05

We slect two observations X_1, X_2

And let denote the combined lenght as:

Y = X_1 + X_2

If we find the expected value of Y we got:

E(Y) = E(X_1) + E(X_2) = 3.25 + 3.25 =6.5

And for the variance we assume that we have independent random variables for X1 and X2 so then we have:

Var(Y) = Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) = \sigma^2 + \sigma^2 = 2 \sigma^2 = 2*(0.05^2) = 0.005

And the deviation Sd(Y) = \sqrt{0.005}=0.0707

So then our random variable Y have the following distribution:

Y \sim N (\mu =6,5 , \sigma = 0.0707)

And we want to find this probability:

P(Y

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{y -\mu_y}{\sigma_y}

And if we use the z score formula we got:

P(Y

What are the zeros of the graphed function y = 1/3 (x + 3)(x + 5)?
Darya [45]

One factor will be zero, hence y will be zero, when x=-3.

The other factor will be zero, hence y will be zero, when x=-5.

The zeros of the function are x ∈ {-5, -3}.

_____

This solution makes use of the "zero product rule," which states a product is zero if and only if one or more factors is zero.

solniwko [45]
This is a GCF problem,
find the GCF of 36 and 27. To do this, list out the factors for each number.
EX 36- 1×36, 2×18, so on and so on. Then do this for 27. The GCF will be the greatest factor. In this case, that is 9.
So there would be 9 groups because that is the greatest common factor.
there would be 4 roses in each group because 4×9= 36.
There are 3 carnations in each group because 9×3 =27.
So 9 groups with 4 roses and 3 carnations.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:  15504

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The center for research in data science has a vacancy of 5 interns under a research attachment program.

Number of students applied = 20

The combination of n people taking r at a time is given by :-

C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Since, all students fulfill the minimum CGPA criteria it means all 20 students are equally eligible.

Then , the number of ways to select a team of 5 interns from all 20 interns :-

C(20,5)=\dfrac{20!}{5!(20-5)!}\\\\=\dfrac{20\times19\times18\times17\times16\times15!}{5!15!}\\\\=15504

Hence, the number of ways to select a team of 5 interns. =
